neone think that valve are delaying the episode 2 so that they can suprise us all and release episode 3 a couple of months later ala matrix

 

[sarcastinator]

I don't think any of us will live to see Episode 3.

 

[Mahalis]

Yah. Current rumor has it that Ep2's mainly being delayed by playtesting and console versions.

 

[Ennui]

not a chance

 

[Ruubie]

Episode 3 release: between 2009 and 2011

Episode 3 release: between 2009 and 2011

This is actually pretty likely

 

[halem111]

but if there only play testing it and optimising the code for consoles.....surely thats alot of resources that arent being used that their probably using elsewhere on maybe episode 3

 

[CyberPitz]

It's true, since I'm sure ep2 for the PC is done, mostly, they are, and probably have been, working on ep3. Hopefully they won't have to delay this one.

 

[Shift]

If only...

Since a team have been working on EP2 at the same time another team started on EP1, I think there will be yet more delays on EP3 unless they set the release date one year from the release of EP2 ^^. But it will be worth the wait...

I was just going to say that.

You just know that they're going to introduce some new awesome technology in Episode 3 (say, much more destructable environments, or fully simulated snow) that will delay it to Christmas 2008. At least I can vote by then.

Well, Ep1 was just quickly done shit that they made to get Gordon out of C17.

Ep2 is with new stuff but it looks like theyr most important thing is the console versions, not the actual game. It looks like they just made the game fast again, not much story, only nice maps with the same old models and only loaded to console versions that nobody wise person is gonna buy.

I hope Ep3 will be PC-only, no console shit that EA is creating with ugly-ass boxes, and more story-telling and new characters. Ep1 had only shooting with Alyx, nothing else. All was just to get to trainstation.

Blasphemy!
Ep1 advanced the storyline, as you say, but it brought new character models, a new enemy, improved AI, and bloody amazing lighting.

Hopefully they won't have to delay this one.

Episode 2 Release: Autumn 2007
Episode 3 Release: Christmas 2007


I think it'll be delayed.

We're talking about Valve here. This kind of wishful thinking has been the root of all fan troubles since 1997.

 

[Stene]

Yeah, Ep3 release date is still Christmas 2007 ;D

I bet there's going to be some laugh in Valve's offices when the EP2 dev team join up with the EP3 dev team.
